In e-commerce, legal requirements in the area of product safety are a decisive factor, especially for sellers who sell products in the EU. Compliance with the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) ensures that buyers receive comprehensive product safety information before making a purchase decision. For you operating on eBay within the EU, the GPSR brings new requirements for the provision of manufacturer information, safety warnings and EU Responsible Person (EURP) details. Until now, it was not necessary to provide this information directly in your listings on eBay. With this new function, we will offer the opportunity to store the necessary information in a structured manner and thus ensure a legally compliant product presentation on eBay.

The aim of this new feature will be to ensure that you can provide all the necessary information on product safety, manufacturer information and EU Responsible Persons (EURP) directly in your eBay listings. This will not only help you to comply with legal requirements, but also improve transparency and safety for end customers. We also reduce the effort required for manual processes by automating the transfer of the relevant data.

The new function for compliance with the Product Safety Regulation will offer numerous advantages:

• Legal compliance:
  You can be sure that your eBay listings comply with the new EU product safety requirements without having to make additional manual entries directly on eBay.

• Automated data maintenance:
  The ability to store manufacturer information and safety warnings directly in plentysystems and submit them to eBay saves time and reduces the risk of errors.

• Improved product safety:
  End customers receive comprehensive information about potential hazards as well as safety warnings, which increases confidence in the product and you.

• Reduction of liability risks:
  You minimise the risk of sanctions by authorities, as all required information can be provided automatically and updated as needed.

• Expanded market opportunities:
  By providing complete and up-to-date safety information, you can build trust with potential buyers in the EU and beyond and improve your sales opportunities.

The implementation of this new feature will have a direct impact on your workflow. You will be able to maintain all required product safety information and contact details directly in plentysystems instead of having to store them separately on eBay. This data is automatically transferred to the corresponding eBay listings and ensures that the legal requirements are met. This means a considerable simplification for you in terms of managing your listings and a reduction in the effort required to comply with product safety regulations. In addition, the sales process is accelerated as all relevant information is already available when the listing is created.
